A teenager ride a bike saw him kick about a tire and asked what was wrong. My father explained his situation.

I’ve done almost every sport I can think of, so I’ve had a lot of coaches. And my best coach was my _______ teacher, Mrs. Lane. It seemed she knew everything, _______ about you.
One Wednesday I practiced _______ a balled-up sheet of paper into the wastebasket from ten feet out. _______ it left my fingertips, Mrs. Lane came in and said, “_______!”
She pulled my ball of paper out from the wastebasket and _______ it to me. Then she walked to the _______ of the room and set the wastebasket in the comer.
“You did so well that I’d like to see some more,” she said “Get up and join me.”
We _______ the door. “I'd like to see 10 more shots, from here. Every time you miss, you _______ me one hour of detention(放学后留校)”.
The class became ____________. Any kid who's ever thrown a balled-up sheet of paper knows that there’s barely enough ____________ to get it all the way across the room, let alone accurately.
I ____________ the ball as tightly as I could and took my first shot. Enough ____________ but wide left. The class ____________ One hour of detention. Next shot: short. Two hours. At last I made three shots and ____________ seven. Seven hours of one-on-one with Mrs. Lane.

With high rents and low wage growth, it's hardly surprising that young adults increasingly rely on parents for financial support. 1. A survey last year estimated that the $500 billion in financial help that parents give adult children is double what those same parents manage to save for retirement. Nearly 75% parents reported they put their adult kids' needs ahead of retirement.
2. The less you have saved for retirement, the more likely you will feel money-stressed in retirement---that' s not the goal, right? —and you may end up needing to rely on your kids for help in your later years. That' s surely not an outcome the entire family wants.
The decision to provide financial support for an adult child is, of course, personal. That said, if you have even the tiniest worries about retirement security, you owe it to your entire family to reconsider your support. Not overnight, but by setting a timeline expectation for when your child will be independent. 3.
Let adult kids contribute to family expenses. Once an adult child has a job, even if they are still living at home, it's time to have them participate in paying bills. At least, they should pay their share of a family cellphone plan.
4. Helping an adult child get established is one thing, but often help can extend into financing a nicer — than — needed lifestyle. For example, give money for groceries so they don't exist on a poor diet. 5. However, buying for a new car (which should be a used car) or contributing to rent for their own place (rather than shared) is you not setting smart limits.
Anyway, you must have enough savings to take care of yourself.
A.Set limits on what you will help with.
B.Make a major financial sacrifice for adult kids.
C.Besides, helping rent a shared apartment is also reasonable.
D.While the support is financial, we' re not talking pocket money.
E.And most importantly, you can also establish clear financial boundaries.
F.You should reduce your budget to come up with the extra cash to help.
G.Parents who make that choice could set everyone up for a difficult future.
I’ve been teaching college for many years, long enough to note the steady relaxation of attention in matters of student dress. I’ve long grown used to the tom jeans, flip-flops, shorts in the dead of the Maine winter, and ball caps worn backward. Still, I took note recently when one of my students showed up in pajama bottoms. I couldn’t help stopping him and remarking, “Did you just roll out of bed?”
His response: “Five minutes ago.”
I'm familiar with the school of thought that says that how students dress is irrelevant, so long as they’re learning. I deposit it in the same category as “Grammar and spelling don’t matter, so long as they’re expressing themselves.” Perhaps. But I also wonder about the wisdom of confusing the line between bed and desk. I should think that dressing properly before entering a formal environment, such as a college lecture hall, is a sort of visible reminder to oneself (and one’s teachers) that impressions are important and that we have come together to get down to business.
I smile when I think back on the occasions that my parents associated with needing to look presentable. Once, when I was 11 and my brother 9, my father announced that he was taking us into Manhattan (just a subway ride away) to see the film of “2001: A Space Odyssey.” My brother and I were happy at the prospect, but were soon deflated when my father directed us to put on our best clothes, including jackets and ties. “But why?” I begged, not wanting to change out of my comfortable jeans, T-shirt, and sneakers.
“Because,” he said, “we’re going to New York. Other people would observe and assess us based on our appearance.”
So yes, I’m all for freedom of choice in matters of dress, and yes, I do want my students to be comfortable. But I also want to pay my respects to those students who believe that appearances count.
